When is it “gay” adoption?

Promoted from the comments:

“No person under this statute may adopt if that person is a homosexual”

This is a particularly nasty suggestion, that a class of people be singled out, not for what they do (even that would be bad enough), but for who they are.

Will the legislation go on to define exactly what constitutes a homosexual? Do you have to have had intercourse with somebody of the same sex within the past year? What about if a woman just kissed another woman, and it was ten year ago, and she was in college and drunk? Would it help if she publicly renounced her actions? What about if a man hugged and kissed another man? It wouldn’t count if they were father and son, would it? Well, what about grandfather and son? What about if somebody liked to look at provacative pictures of people of the same sex? How about if they watch Will and Grace regularly and laugh at all the “inside gay” jokes?

Do we really want the government going here? These guys are nuts.

Disclaimer: I worked on the crew of La Cage aux Folles when it played at Live Arts a decade ago. However, when my ass was pinched by the 300lb transvestite who played one of the lead characters, I didn’t like it.
